I haven't started on wiring yet. I'm working on putting on the boards and radiant barrier for the metal roof. Once that is done, I will finish plumbing (about half done right now), and then start electrical.
I think what I'm going to do is put an extra plug behind the main and 2nd fridge and behind the chest freezer. That will only be three plugs and I will send them to a seperate breaker box. Then once we get settled in, I can start on a solar system to power that seperate breaker box. Once the system is big enough, I can start adding other lines. So, we will start off by powering all our refrigeration by solar and then grow from there. In the winter we don't turn on the heat much right now is a very leaky house, so I'm betting we will turn it on even less in the new house. I'm hoping somewhere in the future, to be only solar in the winter. We will have to see. Either way, when the power goes out, we won't lose all our put away food.
